About this course

AIBT’s ELICOS (English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students) courses focus on an active-learning approach and our students take a more dominant role in the classroom. They are given tasks where the teacher acts as a facilitator and communication is based on students giving opinions and reasons for those opinions. Using information available to IELTS examiners, we explain what examiners look for and expect. AIBT also focus on how to get higher band scores by specifically targeting each individual student’s weaknesses.
